Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Enough of just hearing one Mundorf I will be installing the Silver in Oil in just a few minutes. When it was two Sonicaps the volume was much lower in the Sonicaps over vintage oils. With one Mundorf it is much closer but still louder in the vinta...

First hour impression of the (one) Mundorf Supreme is good. Seems to be more dynamic. Voices already sound more real than just Sonicaps. There is some sssss though. I am almost sure Mundorf's are a louder cap than Sonicaps. The Mundorf's are going...

I have one Sonicap and the Mundorf Supreme in one speaker. I can not say anything yet as I do not know if there is or even should be any improvement or change from the 2 Sonicaps. I am expecting to hear more difference when the Silver in Oil is ad...

The Mundorf Supreme and Mundorf Silver in Oil and Duelund caps are in should be a fun weekend. The Mundorf Supreme is even much larger then the Sonicaps. (over twice as large) The Mundorf Silver in Oil is huge! The size is at 2.2uf is larger then ...

JohnK is this your speaker company and do I understand you use Mundorf Silver in Oil and Alnico Magnets in your speakers? Have you ever tried the Duelund's with your horns?http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/realitycheck2/kalinowksi.html

JohnK you may be right on the crazy caps. They for sure are expensive! I can not say yet whether they are worth it? I am not really interested in mods though just making them as good and hopefully better then new. I can say that plastic caps are N...

Just got first lesson on speaker tuning. The Klipsch as the caps started to go bad started to sound midrange range focused and noisy. I just replaced the tweeter caps with the Sonicaps with 10 hours on them. (in one speaker) I was expecting change...

Sonicaps back in on the tweeters on one speaker. You wouldn't think you would notice much difference with just the tweeter caps replaced but you do!

Caps are on the way. I am going to put in the Sonciaps to reaquaint myself with them. Then I will put in the Mundorf Supreme's then Mundorf Silver in Oil and last the very pricey Duelunds's. They did recommend Jupiter but that was after the order ...

Just got home from work and called for the parts. They are calling back. The Duelunds do peak my interest. When someone spends the kind of money they are and is not disapointed well you know they must be good. They seem to be at the top of everyon...

Tomorrow I will be ordering caps for the tweeter. They will be Mundorf Supreme, Mundorf Silver in Oil and Duelund. (they are the only ouch to come!) The only to know is to try I guess. I found even the cheap Sonicaps to sound better in the tweeter...

Well were talking Air core inductors do really sound better? (than Iron core) No one uses Iron core on higher end speaker anymore do they?

What what I have seen from the old caps they are somewhat hotter. (louder) I am just going to have to start buying some and see. I suppose I can start with the tweeter caps and see what the caps sound like. I have this speculation that as caps bre...

Rchau any idea why you do not see the film in oil caps around any more? 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Rchau I did hear that the Mundorf's (oils) were about 2 or 3 db hotter. That would make sense to me as the old oil caps are hotter as well. I sure have gained an appreciation for speaker tuning. I was thinking last night and thought I might just s...
